...are you certain it's a myth, Dan?
Daniel Taylor has been a professor of English at Bethel College since 1977. Quite a few years ago he wrote a book called The Myth of Certainty. Here's a quote. Now that you've partied with the Piper, what do you think of his quote? Do you think he partied with Piper?
"Mistaking this active life of faith for an institutionally backed and culturally bound belief system is similar to reducing the Mona Lisa to paint-by-numbers."

The Myth Of Certainity
Me, I'm pulling for the "institutionally backed belief system". I call it THE BIBLE, though.

Yeah, wasn't it encouraging how often a point that a speaker made this weekend went straight back to the Bible? Between this character, the pastor over at Wooddale, and all the Emergent Svengali's who live in Edina, I'm starting to worry that the Twin Cities will become the PoMo Mecca...
Take heart, Aaron. Not everyone who lives in Edina is an "Emergent Svangali"!!!
Or, Svengali, if you prefer!
Have you ever noticed that there is no way to correct a typo other than to trash can the comment and start again.
